Crossword Genius

Fellow in film on a black rickshaw (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

pedicab

'rickshaw' is the definition.
(I know that pedicab is a type of rickshaw)

'fellow in film on a black' is the wordplay.
'fellow' becomes 'ed' (short for Edward).
'in' is an insertion indicator.
'film' becomes 'pic' (short for picture).
'on' says to put letters next to each other.
'black' becomes 'b' (abbreviation as in pencil classifications).
'ed' put into 'pic' is 'pedic'.
'pedic'+'a'+'b'='PEDICAB'

(Other definitions for pedicab that I've seen before include "Tricycle with hooded seat at rear" , "Man-powered taxi" , "Man-powered vehicle for hire" , "Hire-vehicle" , "with which one might be taken for a ride" .)
